The Dolphins are one of the worst teams when it comes to pressures, hits and sacks allowed in the first three games. Tannehill is under duress every 2.9 times he drops back to pass. The Dolphins need to see better play from the interior of the offensive line, and the hope is that left tackle Branden Albert is cleared to play this week.

Lamar Miller, who rushed for 1,099 yards and scored nine touchdowns last season, is averaging just 10 carries per game so far. Part of the blame for Miami's inconsistent running game should be placed on the coaches, who consistency shy away from running the ball when trailing. It's about time the Dolphins scored a rushing touchdown.
